BOB MILNE is considered to be the best ragtime/boogie-woogie pianist in the world!
Bob was filmed and documented for future generations in 2004 during three days of interviews at the Library of Congress and was declared a "National Treasure" at the conclusion. Bob performs for heads of State and dignitaries all over the globe. After several trips to Japan, he was named "Musical Ambassador" by the U S State department. Bob, beside being a musical genius is an entertaining story teller. He has what has been described "an irrepressible, self-deprecatory sense of humor" and takes delight in relating stories from musical history as well as stories from his saloon-playing years.
A globe trotter, Bob continues to play more than 200 concerts a year. He is truly one of a kind, his playing style is competently unique. Bob's musical abilities have attracted the attention of neuroscientists at Penn State University, their studies of Bob's "four track mind" is ongoing.
Longtime presenter of jazz concerts, Bruce Gast, wrote: "Few pianist have mastered the difficult formats of boogie-woogie and ragtime as Bob Milne has, and even fewer can make a living by touring. Whether his audience is 100 or 4,000, he offers a fresh invigorating performance".
